Lip piercing questions!?!?

I just got my lip pierced recently, and it didn't really hurt at all. lip piercings are different with everyone, and it should heal up to 6 weeks but that's only if you clean it every day, if you don't clean it every day it could take longer for it to heal. If you take the piercing out the inside of it will heal because there is moisture inside your mouth due to the saliva, it's the same if you get your tongue pierced. The odds of something going wrong depends on if you move a lot when your about to get it pierced and after words the odds of something going wrong is that it would get infected, in order to heal it if it is infected is to clean it the same amount of time you do. Taking care of it, use half listerine and half water, don't do straight listerine because your mouth needs a certain amount of bacteria. Every time you eat or drink something other than water rinse out your mouth with the half listerine and half water, you can also use sea salt or over the counter salt with water. For the outside of the piercing use anti-bacterial soap, there is going to be some crust like stuff on the outside of the piercing make sure that you don't get any of that inside because that would disturb the the healing process and it would re-open the piercing. The person that pierces your lip should tell you how to take care of it, it's part of their job description, but if they don't than ask them to get the info from a professional. I hope all of this helps you, and good luck. And I'm sorry for the long answer, I just thought that I should tell you every thing that I was told to do to take care of my lip piercing.
